Family-friendly vacation rentals in Franschhoek

We had the most wonderful stay at The Lookout. A well equipped, beautiful space with amazing views. St James itself is also a lovely spot. We loved looking in the unique shops, having coffees, and feeling so free, we would definitely like go back. Imraan and his family were so friendly and welcoming. Just what we needed after a long stressful journey.

Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

Die Unterkunft ist gemütlich und sehr schön gelegen. Annekè ist sehr freundlich.

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Lovely hosts! Beautiful place to spend some peaceful movements with a busy family. Will come again in summer!

This is our second stay at Thilo & Cheryl's house in De Waterkant. We love this house! The location is amazing. It is within walking distance of everything in the ever evolving Waterkant area. We also enjoy walking to the waterfront from here which is about 15-20 minutes walk. The house is beautiful. Everything has a premium feel and it is super cosy. Lots of cushions on the sofa, comfy beds and bedding. The kitchen has everything if you enjoy cooking. Smart TV for nights in. There is an amazing view from the living area topped only by the view from the rooftop! The roof is incredible. Great loungers for sunbathing and an outdoor sofa for drinks and relaxing. The hot tub is great and it all looks out over the waterfront and the bay beyond. The location is great for driving in and out of cape town on the highway and also easy for central cape town with restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Thilo and Cheryl are very responsive and friendly making this a truly special place to stay

Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Waking up, opening the curtains and watching the sun rise over the sea, whilst sipping a morning coffee was truly special. He best start to the day. A fantastic base to explore from and it was lovely to come back to and relax at the end of the day, felt very homely.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Mountain House. You will not regret booking it! Peaceful and tranquil while still being close to restaurants and shopping at Kalk Bay. Hiking literally on your doorstep and Fishhoek and Muizenburg beaches easily accessible. The views are amazing and the hot tub is something special. The kind of place you never want to leave. Carin and Miles are excellent hosts. We hope to be back soon.

We couldn’t have asked for a better stay in Cape Town! Fairfield is an absolute gem—beautiful, welcoming, & gave us such peace of mind knowing we had a safe & comfortable home to return to after our adventures. The house & garden were perfect for our family & dogs, offering space, tranquillity, & charm. The location was ideal—close to everything on our bucket list. And our host was simply fantastic—warm, responsive, & thoughtful. Thank you for making our trip so special!

Eine schöne, süße Unterkunft. Für uns als kleine Familie (mit einer 4-Jährigen Tochter) reichte das vollkommen aus. Der kleine „Erfrischungs-Pool“ war für uns perfekt. Wenn man richtig kochen möchte, erscheint uns die Küche und die Möglichkeiten recht klein - aber man kann zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto (2min) zu einem tollen Restaurant (Deux Lions) kommen, in dem es von Fr-So ein tolles Frühstück gibt. Und sowieso die anderen Restaurants in der Stadt sind großartig und nicht weit entfernt.

Amazing wooden cottage, I could see only this one in the area as most other houses around were in modern styles. Makes you feel that you are living in a cabin by the sea away from the world, though you have other houses around, the view of the bay and sea is immense. You can watch the sunrise from there and one morning we saw dolphins! The place is spacious and well equipped, the terrace is amazing to spend hours on watching the ocean. We were there between seasons so it wasn’t cold nor hot, it was perfect!

Liebrecht was a great host, very flexible for check in and check out, and the accomodation was beautiful. I highly recommend it! Thanks Liebrecht!

We had a wonderful stay at Philip's place. The house is very spacious and the location is great. It was easy to communicate with Philip and he was very flexible. We stayed for a bit over a week at the beginning of our South Africa trip, and booked again for our last night as we liked the place so much.

Ohh, I loved everything about that place, amazing , clean, better than the pictures , it really felt like home👌😄

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful, well equipped and tastefully decorated. High quality and well appointed kitchen. Gorgeous outside area for dining, and a little plunge pool for hot days. The town is walkable and full of great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this house for a wonderful Franshhoek holiday.

Tanya was thee absolute best ,a perfect host ,very helpful aswell as her helper ,the place was easy to find and I must say the pictures don’t do it any justice it’s a beautiful place clean and the kitchen has everything we needed for our stay ,the pool kept the kids busy as it was so hot ,she even gave us an extra day 🌸I must say she was one of the kindest individuals that have ever hosted me ,I appreciate all she did for myself and my family ..

Always a wonderful experience staying here! The house is always clean and has a safe and good location. Will recommend everyone who get the opportunity to stay here and get to experience Gerjo´s warm and loving home. Thank you and hope to see you again!

They are perfects hosts, flexible scheduling. A wonderful and well-maintained home. The house is fully equipped. Great for spending a few days with friends or family.

We had a lovely stay. The house is very comfortable and quiet. We will definitely stay there again. Lily is a great host.

A lovely space in a perfect location. Riana welcomed us and was great throughout our stay. Really responsive and helpful. The apartment is well laid out and comfortable and the communal area with the pool is fantastic. So many lovely restaurants within a short walk of the apartment. We recommend a visit to Franschhoek and Le Petit Bijou apartments. Thanks for a great stay.

I rented the house for my wife, two kids and some friends. We had a very great stay and a good time at the house. Everything was as expected and described by the owners. We had a very good communication with them before and during our stay. They are so lovely and helpful. Restaurants are close, also grocery store and a mall. The beach is just 7 minutes away by car and around 20-35min to downtown depending on traffic. Also once a week the house is cleaned with no extra charge. All together 5 Stars from us! Thank you very much.

Jane’s glasshouse is a peaceful and thoughtfully designed retreat, offering a perfect place to unwind while being close to the winelands. The setting is tranquil, with attention to detail that makes the space feel welcoming and comfortable. Jane is a gracious and responsive host, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. Rafa, her friendly golden retriever, is a delightful presence, adding to the charm of the place. We had a restful time and would happily return when in the area.

Amazing spot, just such a beautiful spot! The kinda place you want to stay for weeks not days. Clean and loads of space. Right on the edge of town, walkable in/out, and feels so safe. Great communication with Mike, who is a great host.
